Tales Out of School
A memoir of Robert Hamill Nassau's experiences as a missionary and educator in Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Nassau provides vivid descriptions of the customs, beliefs, and daily life of the people he encountered, as well as reflections on the challenges and rewards of cross-cultural communication. With humor and compassion, he brings to life a world that is at once distant and familiar, and offers insights into the ongoing legacy of colonialism and imperialism.

My Ogowe
Robert Hamill Nassau (1835-1921) lived three lives as a busy doctor, colorful writer, and dedicated minister. He served several Presbyterian missions abroad, including present day Equatorial Guinea along the Ogowe River. In 1894, after France colonized Gabon and Ogowe, he spent his remaining years working in the German Kamerun (the region and its divided parts would later become reunified under the official name, The Republic of Cameroon) until 1906 when he retired and returned to the United States. My Ogowe offers a lens on the impact that colonization and missionary work had on the region and is a primary resource about the area. This edition is dedicated to Larry Diamond, who among his many competencies has long been a shrewd observer of Africa.
